The move to Thursdays was made in part because that is the night the city pool is open and chamber staff said the market would benefit from additional foot traffic in the area, City Manager John Brewer said in his staff report.

The market will steer clear of the residential area, Councilman Tony Cardenas said.

Since the agriculture and non-agriculture producers need to be in separate areas, the gravel access road will be utilized for non agricultural vendors with agricultural vendors set up on the west side of the park, Brewer said.

The chamber will not be charging a fee for the vendor spaces, but will require vendors to be certified through the Tehama County Agriculture Department, Cardenas said.

That is a one-time $5 fee, good for the whole season and in any Tehama County farmers market, he said.

?We”ve sent e-mails to the ones who have come in the past and they”re excited and like the location and day,? Chamber Manager Valanne Cardenas said. ?I”m hoping it will go well.?

Cardenas reminded council members of the ribbon cutting at 10:45 a.m. Saturday for the Liquor Cabinet at 2105 Solano St., which will include a barbecue as a part of the grand opening.

The event, which runs until 3 p.m., includes live music and a bounce house.
